...Makes me think of "Leave It To Beaver", when June would walk about the house in heels and a pearl necklace....

Too funny--I seriously always wanted to be June--even vacuumed in dresses (home sewn, of course) when my now 23 year old son was a baby....I do long for some of the old days when things were so much more innocent and simple....but I can't say that I could NOT complain if my husband went out without me or came home late...and I DEFINITELY wouldn't have a hot or cold drink waiting unless it was coffee, hot chocolate or lemonade.....I always did and still do know my place...a hard working princess who should be treated accordingly....basically, this is the way women were trained to manipulate their men into doing things THEIR WAY out of not so much respect, but pure guilt---the article shows things exactly as I was raised!! LOL

...check out that 3rd point..."Be a little gay???"

Tell me about it....I can't do many folk songs or even Christmas tunes with my young students because of the frequent use of that very word which used to mean happy...but now gets lots of smirks and rolled eyes.........it seems that some word translations get twisted or just plain lost over the years.....for example, does anyone know what Auld Lang Syne means, anyway???
